Kyle Korver and Al Horford talk to ESPN’s Bill Simmons about why “Mattering” is key to team’s success.
Why “mattering” matters:
- When you sharing the ball you start having fun and score more points
- When everyone feels like we’re a specific part of the puzzle they naturally play harder
- When everyone feels like they matter every single time down the court it become addictive
- You get to be a part of almost every play (not just standing in the corner to space for someone else) which is contagious and you start to make plays for other guys
- No one is just waiting for the ball to come to them
- You shoot shots differently when you get touches on the ball
- Everyone touching the ball gives people energy on both ends of the court
